IMPROVEMENT IN ORNAMENTING'TEXTILE FABRICS.

Specification forming part of Letters Patent No. 190,50H, dated May 8, 1877 application filed March 16, 1877.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, REMY LE Roux, of New York city, New York, have invented a new and useful Improvement in Ornamenting Textile Fabrics and I hereby declare that the following is a true and exact description of my invention, which will enable others to make the same, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, forming a part of this specification, and to the letters and figures of reference marked thereon.

My invention consists in the ornamentation of textile fabrics in a cheaper, quicker, better, and more durable manner than heretofore done by taking short pieces of bands and ribbous of any desirable material, and of any desirable color, and making dots or points thereof on any desired textile fabric, placed at certain distances apart, and so knotted into the fabric that the dots or points cannot be ac- Fig. 2 is an enlarged plan view of one of the dots or points. Fig. 3 is an enlarged plan view of one of the dots or points, showing the first manipulation of its formation. Fig. 4 is an enlarged plan view of one of the dots or points, showing the second manipulation of its formation. Fig. 5 is an enlarged plan view of one of the points or dots, showing the third and last manipulation of its formation.

It will be readily seen that both ends of the band or ribbon are, by these manipulations, so hidden and looked that the dots or points appear as being made in one piece woven into the fabric, and that the ends cannot accidentally become loosened.

The knots or points can be made very rapidly by any experienced person.

Having thus described my invention, I desire to claim-- I The method of dotting textile fabrics, which consists in passing a narrow band of suitable material through the fabric, crossing it upon itself and locking down the ends, all in the manner hereinbefore set forth.

This specification signed this 9th day of March, 1877.
